The 1984 Prophecy by a Former Communist :: By Bill Wilson

Former Soviet KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov, who defected from the Soviet Union in 1970, was interviewed in 1984 about Soviet infiltration methods. Bezmenov said that by 1970 the Soviet Union already had infiltrated the US through brainwashing left-leaning people in the news media, entertainment, politics, business, education, and religion. He said the Soviet Union used a brainwashing strategy called ideological subversion designed to change the perception of reality of every American so “no one is able to come to sensible conclusions” to defend themselves, their families, or their country. Sadly, Bezmenov was prophetic as many socialists, now called progressives, hold key positions in American society.

Bezmenov said there are four stages of ideological subversion:

The first stage, demoralization, which takes 15-30 years according to Bezmenov, was completed before 1985.

The second stage, also completed, is destabilization. This is where people destabilize the entire nation through actions that are counter to common sense and sound practices.

The third stage is creating crisis.

And the fourth stage is normalization. Bezmenov said that the leftists that help create these stages are the first to be executed by a communist dictatorship because once they find out they have perpetrated a lie, they become the most ardent opposition. Those who stand against communism by warning others are also executed.

Bezmenov said that the Soviets used brainwashed leftists to teach Marxism-Leninism ideology to several generations of American students. He said that these teachings included:

feminism

sexual liberation

hedonism

anti-war sentiments

liberation theology

and globalism

He said these students are now the people who are the business, religious, political, educational, media, and entertainment leaders of American society. He said, “You are stuck with them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli… You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information… the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible.”

To reverse this process, Bezmenov said writing letters will not work. He said:

“There must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of real patriotism, number one. Number two, to explain to them the real danger of socialist, communist, welfare state, big brother government… The moment at least part of the United States population is convinced that the danger is real, they have to force their government…to stop aiding communism.”

I will add another way to reverse the process:

Mark 16:15, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

And Ephesians 6:20, “…that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
